Hosting and traveling have had an enormous impact on my life, so I am planning to immerse myself in new languages, cultures, and people as often as I can.

At the moment my strongest passions are tea, exploring my city, and getting involved around town. I'd love to introduce you to local spots around Portland, true tea, craft beer, darts, or longboarding if you have the time and interest!

僕は日本語がぺらぺらじゃないけど、3年間ぐらい勉強しています。2年前小坂で留学していました、ほんまに (笑)。喋ってみましょうか。

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
